A New Race of Humans

Richard L. Cederberg

Description

A NEW RACE OF HuMAN'S is a powerful and meticulously written narrative that follows the lives of Grant Callarman (the Christian), Peter Pegarian (the plagiarist conman), Haddon Hathaway (the Humanist), and Professor Wilmington Jonah (the doubting intellect) as they experience the shocking global translation of the Saints, Daniels 70th Week, and the Kingdom Age, in which all four men are predestined to meet once again.
Unless otherwise specified, all poetiprose, flash fiction, and poetry, (used to enrich or clarify the narrative) was composed by richard lloyd cederberg.
“But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12: 36-37

DEDICATIONS
Michele Elizabeth Cederberg - my beloved wife. Michele is to me a treasure of great worth. She is the most sensible, considerate, beautiful, and loving person I’ve ever known in my entire life. Without her consistent prayers, her influence, her faith, and her unwavering support, I could never have accomplished this project. Thank you MEC. I love you.
Garrett Richard Cederberg – my only son. Quite a journey this life has become. Seems there are certain kinds of things that can only be learned in hardship and struggle. Speaking personally: I’ve learned my most enduring lessons when I was at my lowest, and no one, except the Holy Spirit, was there to help me. Honestly, I can’t imagine this life without scars and tears. It’s good when we can hold up under the storms and trials we face, and still hold on to our integrity and focus, and too, remain dedicated to what God has called us to do. It’s been proven, in my own experiences, that nothing of worth ever seems to be accomplished without enduring more than we think is necessary. I love you Garrett. You, and your four sons, are in our prayers daily.

NEVER STOP REAC HING
I know a man
who bears aging as
a series of benchmarks,
seasons where
understanding deepens,
and LIFE becomes more fascinating,
a time when each souls search for beauty
reveals itself in endless forms…
I know a man also,
who ponders AGING in
fearful respect of death’s
vast and terrible depth,
and is terrified by
its hunger, its inexhaustibility, and
the whole dread persistent hugeness of it…
I know another man too, who
worships God in spirit and truth, and
who accepts aging as an act of GOD’S GRACE,
a process that should no more straiten a soul
than the moons snowy luminance as it
pirouettes with swaying trees…
(This same man) observes
that no matter what your age,
Heaven’s rains
still refresh,
and moist rich soil
yields its musty fragrance, as
flowers spring forth, and bloom and fade,
in an unappeasable passage of seasons…
We being as flowers too….
Notwithstanding the many fears, and
gathering years, weighing heavily at times,
Mockingbirds still delight
in the higher branches
with their colorful
fire of conjurations, even
as winter’s snow deepens,
and each heart strains through
memories portion of impermanence…
The intensely
aching beauty you see
being just within your grasp, has a
heat that burns when you reach for it…
whether it’s
yours or not, is NOT
in your power to understand,
But never stop reaching…
